Incredible！！！

Most checkpoints can do the basics - smile, happy, sad, etc. But something that is missing from everything is a single arched eyebrow expression.

hey,

it's a pity that it was trained in SD15 style and btw most of expressions are already in basemodel ...

but it supports at least some directions and works well with mine (winks eyes and bit lips - lora)

Thx, it is so useful for me.

I'm confused... in your example image prompts, I don't see the lora included at all. Trying to figure out exactly how you used it, what strength you gave the lora, etc.

I have found a specific frequent use for this LoRA. SDXL upscaling via hires.fix tends to "mute" facial expressions somewhat. Smiles slightly less smiley, fear slightly less afraid, just a general slight increase in a sort of "disinterested, aloof" look (btw those are excellent words to use in negative prompt!).

I have begun using this LoRA ONLY in the hires.fix stage to undo and often reverse this tendency toward increased expressiveness instead. It works extremely well in this role.

edit: also any face-related ADetailer stage if applicable, obviously, otherwise ADetailer would undo what hires.fix just did.

When using this lora my images get overexposed.

Does anybody have an idea of what might the cause of this behaviour?

Love this LoRa. Works well with most of my models and adds a nice touch to each creative endeavor.

Finally! I am able to get the desired expressions that I normally prompt for in images.This hits the spot!
I can make expressions subtle or exaggerated, the way I want. It takes a little tweaking to get just the right look I am going for.
Job well done!

Absolutely perfect! The only thing missing is lip biting, but we all know how hard that is to get working. Thank you for this! 11/10!

Hello, do you have any plan for flux version? I would like to add facial expressions for other characters Lora in flux.

Thank you so much for doing the SDXL version. I have been looking for something like this for a long time!

Seems to work well with pony, although a few expressions don't really register - but generally good.

When I add the lora to my prompt it adds "<lora:lora:1> facial expression" as if it doesn't have distinctive name. How can I fix/update this so it is something more like "<lora:expressions_XL:1> facial expression"?
